Fall Fishing is my absolute favorite time of year here in the Upper Keys. Fishing is very productive from the Everglades to the flats of Islamorada as we have beautiful sunny 75 degree bluebird days.

Redfish and snook bite are hot right now. Once the water temp drops the bull redfish will be moving in to spawn.

Summer time is in full swing and, for us that men's calmer seas, and beautiful clear water to fish. Reef and wreck has been a bit of a challenge with warmer water temps bringing in more shark activity, some days have been tougher than others but we still managed to put some nice boxes together of yellowtail, and more Offshore bite has been decent with a very consistent almaco jack and amber jack bite. Mahi have been a bit a of a roller coaster with some strong weeks early on and a few tough days in between to find quality fish. On tough Mahi days the tuna have been great on vertical jigs and live bait, and also had some great deep drop opportunities for vermillion and more.

Redfish bite is cooled off waste week with that cool front and full moon. I am expecting bite to ramp up with the warmer weather. Sea trout and weak fish bite is also getting better. A few whispers of some black drum in the river. Baits of choice have been shrimp under a float and cut finger mullet or pinfish on a bottom rig.

Water keeps getting warmer, and the snappers are heating up with it. I am starting to see small Spanish mackerel and ladyfish in the river and around ponce. Spring is definitely in the air.

    Chris was outstanding as a captain. Aside from is plentiful fishing knowledge and keeping us on bites all day long he was good to talk to and kept us on the fish the entire time we were out there. Even with a shorter half day trip Chris made sure to get us as much fish as possible in the shortened amount of time. The boat was very well kept and gave us many pointers as to how to prepare and cook the fish we caught. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back very soon!

    Paul and first mate Gary worked hard all day on our 8 hour trip offshore. Targeting Blackfin Tuna, Mackerel and Sailfish all day and keeping us over the fish with consistent bites. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants a good experience offshore and will hopefully be back again in the future.

    Brad and his first mate were a great time. It was a bad fishing day but they worked their butts off to make sure we at least went home with some fish. Would definitely recommend them and we will be back for a future trip with better weather conditions.
